Web Design, Development and Apple

It’s Official Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” is Intel only.

MacNN is reporting this morning that 10.6 “Snow Leopard” is Intel only. This is the moment our Power PC brethren have been fearing. The beginning of the end of OS X Power PC support. Can Universal Binary support be far behind? Time to pony the cash for a new Intel Mac my friends.

Some of the other system requirements include:

Intel processor

An internal, external, or shared DVD drive

At least 512 MB of RAM (more is recommended for development)

A built-in display or display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer

At least 9GB of disk space available, or 12GB of disk space if you install the developer tools.
